My favourite was the dragon. and I loved the flowers too, she said, by listing out the colours she saw inside. Her parents, both working at the ISRO at Veli here, said that they came here early that evening so that the child could enjoy everything inside peacefully.

While parents led the children to see the lights, the children led their parents towards the stalls that sell snacks and attractive toys.

Karnataka DCM Shivakumar lashes out at Kerala CM Pinarayi over remarks on Bengaluru demolition drive
BENGALURU: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Saturday lashed out at Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan for interfering in evictions in an encroached land in Bengaluru. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, the DyCM said it is unfortunate that senior leaders like Pinarayi Vijayan has commented on this without knowing the facts of the matter. The land which was cleared of encroachment was a solid waste pit. There are many health-related issues in the area due to this. We also have humanity, and we have given them an opportunity to move to other areas, he said. Shivakumar said leaders like Pinarayi Vijayan should not interfere in such matters. Land mafia sets up slums in order to encroach upon the land at a later stage. We wont let that happen. We are willing to give houses under the Rajiv Gandhi scheme if there are eligible people, he said, responding to Kerala CMs remarks that the Karnataka government was involved in Bulldozer Raj in Bengaluru. The DyCM stated that they are only protecting government land in the middle of the city and will send a message regarding this to Congress party leaders in Kerala. We dont have Bulldozer culture, I appeal to Pinarayi Vijayan not to talk like that, he said. Responding to protests by some people, he said they are all politically motivated statements and protests. He should not comment on matters of our state without knowing the facts. This is a political gimmick in view of the upcoming Kerala elections, the DyCM said.

CWC meet: Congress top brass discuss strategy for 2026 polls, action against Centre over G RAM G law
Senior Congress leaders on Saturday attended a crucial meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the partys highest decision-making body, to discuss the political situation ahead of multi-state assembly elections next year and chart its response to the governments repeal of the UPA-era rural employment scheme MGNREGA. The party is deliberating its strategy after the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005, was replaced by the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act (VB-G RAM G). The extended CWC meeting is being attended by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, along with chief ministers of Congress-ruled states, including Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh. Presidents of Pradesh Congress Committees (PCCs) are also present. The meeting comes ahead of assembly elections due next year in Assam, Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, with leaders expected to deliberate on the partys electoral strategy. The Congress is set to finalise its action plan to counter the government following the repeal of MGNREGA. The VB-G RAM G Bill was passed during the recently concluded winter session of Parliament and has since received the assent of President Droupadi Murmu. The Congress and other opposition parties have strongly objected to the new law, saying the removal of Mahatma Gandhis name from the scheme is an insult to his legacy. Under the new law, rural households are guaranteed 125 days of wage employment in a financial year for adults willing to undertake unskilled manual work. Unlike the earlier central scheme, the programme will now be funded jointly by the Centre and states in a 60:40 ratio.
